We now shift gears and focus on how we, the Church, can become God’s instrument for the renewal of culture. Because dualism has become so prevalent in the Church, we often fail to recognize the profound ways the gospel has shaped our families, institutions, systems, communities, and nations throughout the
On October 7, 2023, Hamas and other terrorist organizations carried out a surprise raid on the nation of Israel. More Jews were killed on this day than at any time since the Holocaust during WWII. It is estimated that 1000 Hamas fighters systematically attacked 50 Israeli sites including military bases,
In the last post we saw that we are living in the context of a cultural wasteland. Next, we will examine the second symbol Nathan Stone presents. We must realize that the wasteland is in fact inhabited by the Evil One. Working from an atheistic framework and recognizing only half
In the last post of the series, we reflected on Aaron Renn’s article about the culture’s shift from positive to negative in its attitude toward the Judeo-Christian worldview. In this post, we will examine the insights of Nathan Stone on the need for new symbols in order to create a

The new math, deriving from Critical Race Theory, is no idle matter, but an insidious attempt that will impair children and destroy nations. It’s time to say no. To deny reason and reality is nonsense. Stanford University Economist and Social Theorist Thomas Sowell speaks very clearly. Ours may become the
Even in the so-called Dark Ages, one plus one equaled two. But today, Critical Race Theory scorns that reality as “White Math.” Mathematics dates its discovery and articulation as a discipline to Pythagoras of Samos (569 – 475 BC).
